I'm pasting these from my post in Steam discussions.
I tried making a research agreement with a neighbour, but it didn't work out. Then I tried making a similar agreement with another neighbour (the research agreement was in the trade already with the other neighbour!), which he was willing to accept when I threw in 50 energy credits. The notification came in that he accepted, but there was nothing about a research agreement in the notification, yet it was on the table when making the agreement. The trade menu doesn't reset properly when you exit it, IMO.
Why can't we improve relations with gifts? I gave credits away for nothing in that bugged deal, which was basically a gift, but the relations did not improve, which is non-sensical.
Assist research doesn't seem to do anything. I have a science ship with a level 5 scientist in orbit of a planet with research facilities, there's no bonus listed in the research output of the planet (I should get +50% since I invested in Improved Assist Research tech).

EDIT: Apparently, you have to right click the planet you want to assist research with, while you have the science ship selected. There's an assist research option in the pop-up.
